DISTAFF
QUOTES
Stanley Hough, winning trainer of Tar Heel
Mom (No. 3): “It’s great for the people who have her to win a Grade 2. She
had been running against some really nice fillies at Gulfstream and in all three
of her previous graded stakes tries, she had run quite well. She had also run
pretty well over off tracks before, so I didn’t think that would hurt her. I know her next start will be in
New York,
but we’re going to give her a little time off now.”
Ramon Dominguez, winning rider aboard Tar
Heel Mom (No. 3): “If she broke sharply, my intentions were to try to get
the jump on the five horse (Matchless Orinda). Unfortunately we ended up going a
little quicker than I first was anticipating, and as a result she was getting
tired the last part. It was a
pretty hard race for her because the fractions were so quick the first part, but
the track seems to be speed-favoring today and I was able to take advantage of
that.”
